Kindle grew up in a 900-square-foot house in a crime-infested part of Dallas known as South Oak Cliff. Calvin Walker recalled routinely seeing drug raids and hearing gunshots.

"It's a rough neighborhood if you let it be," Kindle said. "There are things going on around you that shouldn't be happening or you wouldn't want to be happening around you." ...

When Kindle was in middle school, his house was robbed at least six times by football players at South Oak Cliff High School, Calvin Walker said. Because of those incidents, Kindle's father refused to send him to the school.
